Monday, February 19th: The Month's Final Multi Begins Today, As "February $50,000 II" Runs Through Wednesday

ICYMI: Sunday's tournament action returned to the recurring schedule, beginning with the $120 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" ($3,000 GTD), which got underway at 11:00am.   The tournament attracted a total of (31) entries, which equated to a prize pool that fell directly on the posted number ($3,000).  The payouts were scheduled to see four players reach the money, but when action was on the money bubble, the remaining players agreed to a deal.  Alex Glazunov (Palm Beach Gardens, FL) was the tournament's "declared winner," while Alan Levin (Webster, NY) was the recipient of the extra pay spot.  Posted below are the official results from the event:
  1. Alex Gladunov (Palm Beach Gardens, FL) $667
  2. Pedro Palacio (Delray Beach, FL) $637
  3. Andrew Daire (Delray Beach, FL) $610
  4. Emiliano Frade (Plantation, FL) $571
  5. Alan Levin (Webster, NY) $515
A short while after the "Monster Stack" ended, the 6:00pm event would get underway, which was a $130 No Limit Hold'em "Turbo Bounty" ($3,000 GTD).  After ten levels of open registration, the field would close with (41) entries, which equated to a prize pool of $3,157.  Six players were scheduled to reach the money, with action playing through the money bubble in the event.  Once play was three-handed, a deal was agreed to, with Robert Tanner (Wellington, FL) the tournament's declared winner (earning $886).  Results from the tournament are listed below:
  1. Robert Tanner (Wellington, FL) $886
  2. Patrick Biancone (Delray Beach, FL) $782
  3. Jose Tacher (Sunny Isles, FL) $731
  4. Denise Westerfield (Coconut Creek, FL) $316
  5. Barry Chazen (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) $253
  6. Ellen Lambeth (Palm Coast, FL) $189
Tournaments: Today's schedule hosts the first pair of starting flights for the month's last multi, a $175 No Limit Hold'em event, which has a $50,000 guarantee.  The event has four total starting flights, with an 11:00am and 6:00pm flight (today and tomorrow), and Day 2 on Wednesday afternoon (12:00pm).  

The tournament is structured with starting stacks of 20,000 units, and levels that last (25) minutes over the course of the event.  Each of the starting flights will play through Level 15, or until 10% of the field remains (whichever comes first).  Each afternoon flight will end shortly before 6:00pm, while each evening flight will end shortly before 1:00am.  Registration is open through Level 12, which is just over (5.5) hours into each flight.

The chip lead bonus is the same as this past weekend's multi, with the top ten stacks (after all flights have been completed) earning a seat into the $275 No Limit Hold'em Satellite into the $2,500 No Limit Hold'em Single-Ante.

Promotions: From (9:00am-10:00am), the high hand will award $150 every (30) minutes.  The high hands will then transition from 10:00am-12:00am (midnight), with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes.  During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible (Isle Open events not eligible for high hand) each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands.  From 12:00am-9:00am, players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.

It should also be noted that started back on November 1st, players are able to win the high hand using only one card in their hand!!!  The payouts for those that use one card are different than the standard numbers listed above, and can be found (full listing of one-card payouts on flyers in the poker room).
